If Spurs land the defender this month, Postecoglou will no doubt be hoping to see the Sevilla version of the defender rather than the one who struggled at Forest. Bade’s stats certainly show that he’s ready for the Premier League this time around, with more progressive passes, tackles won and passes into the final third made than fellow Spurs target Dragusin this season.

fantastic” new defender alongside Dragusin and timo werner
As Tottenham Hotspur look to leapfrog North London rivals Arsenal in the race to finish inside the Premier League’s top four, the January transfer window could quickly prove to make all the difference for Ange Postecoglou. Following Cristian Romero’s injury, alongside Micky van de Ven’s spell on the sidelines and Eric Dier’s potential Bayern Munich move, to say that the Lilywhites are crying out for defensive reinforcements would be an understatement.
Postecoglou has already been forced to field makeshift defensive partnerships this season and will be well aware of the need to avoid a repeat of that, making this month all the more important. And whilst Spurs’ Radu Dragusin deal looks to be gradually progressing alongside a move for forward Timo Werner, they could still do with one more fresh option, which could see them land one particular La Liga player.
